Taylor Swift Ttpd - Blog Posts
there's a black dog in the fortnight mv bc 'old habits die screamin' (while getting electroshock therapy)
bro...hold on...shes also referencing the failed coming out of 2019. and has been ever since folklore. lover came out in august. 'august slipped away like a bottle of wine cuz you were never mine'...going insane. she tells the story of her life through love songs bc she knows thats the only way to get & keep people's attention. 'I'm still trying everything To keep you looking at me'
You said some things that I can't unabsorb
You turned me into an idea of sorts
You needed me, but you needed drugs more
And I couldn't watch it happen
I changed into goddesses, villains and fools
Changed plans and lovers and outfits and rules
All to outrun my desertion of you
And you just watched it
this play was about us. how the public viewed the ME! and 'you need to calm down' songs & music videos. she gave so many signs. she tried to tell us a million little times. she reinvented herself over and over to try and make us see. some of us did, most of her fans and the world at large didn't. now shes burning all her past lives. shes going to come out and destroy everything she built in the name of being her true self.
the more i listen to TTPD the more convinced I become shes not talking about being in love in any of the songs at all & all the references to muses are just red herrings for fans to look past, & shes really just talking about her relationship with the music industry & her fanbase

i've heard rumors that the leak Could be AI...or an Intentional Thing? all the 2 imagery...&& the ERROR 321 thing with 'red herring'...maybe...?
so the page turning thing taylor is doing made me think:
'Cause there were pages turned with the bridges burned/Everything you lose is a step you take'
like. burning bridges. burning the lover house. burning her past.
'Spring breaks loose, but so does fear/He's gonna burn this house to the ground'.
what if 'he' is the heteronormative view she has had to pander to? and by coming out, by turning the page to reveal her truth, her queerness, she is allowing her past to be burned and destroyed in the name of love? BUT. ivy ends with
'My house of stone, your ivy grows/And now I'm covered/In you'
her house is STONE. you Cant burn STONE. her Real self is safe, and covered in the growth of love and new beginnings. she was afraid of coming out bc she was afraid of losing Everything, but realized somewhere along the way thats ok. she has what matters. besides:
'So make the friendship bracelets/Take the moment and taste it/You've got no reason to be afraid'
after all!! i'm not saying comingoutlor but...
i feel like im going insane, ive been looking at this waaaay too long lol
so i was watching the video from today frame by frame & thought i could see some vague letter-like shapes in this shadow area
so i zoomed in & played with settings & i THINK i can see some letters but am Not Totally Sure. it could also be Nothing and just my eyes playing tricks on me at 2-something am
i could see it best zoomed out and holding the phone away from me, but again, could Totally be Nothing
& in conclusion...
